So this whole time people thought Nietzsche was developing his own philosophy about the world, but he was actually just theorizing about potential Berserk endings.
This seems similar to what I theorized a few years back after reading Berserk a bunch. If multiple people are coming up with this basic idea, it seems to me it's got some meat to it. The Berserk universe does not have a god, heaven, or hell as we think of them. The only god is The Idea Of Evil, which appears as a heart, constantly pumping souls in and out of the afterlife. When Griffith transforms, he meets The Idea. It explains that it came into existence from humanity’s collective will. Humanity always needs there to be a reason for bad things to happen, but never question why good things happen. Thus, The Idea acts as a god, but being inherently evil, it can only make terrible things occur overall, which is why the world is so horrible. The Idea tells Griffith he is instrumental to some plan that The Idea has to change everything. Now, this means a lot in connection to Griffith himself. He bears the Crimson Behelit, an object bearing the name “The Egg of the King”. He is consistently held as a great man with numerous followers and limitless charisma. People believe him to be their “Savior”. He leads a group of monstrous people called, “Apostles” as his closest followers. Now, think about Guts. His vendetta after the eclipse has led him to slaughter countless demons, bathing his sword in their blood. This made the Dragon Slayer sword able to wound God Hand members. He also carries a behelit, which he took from The Count/Slug Apostle. The behelits are supposed to change fate itself to create the future according to The Idea’s plans, and will always find their master. This is the true reason why Guts has survived so long. While he was a close follower of Griffith’s, but has been always viewed by the masses as a horrible person, or as a lesser one. If you take these things into account, I think it’s quite clear. Griffith is to achieve his greatest heights, instilling hope to the masses. Only then, Guts will finally get his revenge and kill Griffith, by utilizing his behelit as a weapon, which was demonstrated by Skull Knight. To humanity, Guts has killed their savior. But Griffith’s death will martyr him and give the people a new belief. They will create a Heaven and come to believe in “The Idea Of Good”, so to speak. This means that Griffith is a twisted analogue to Jesus, while Guts will be that world’s version of Judas. It also completes Berserk’s philosophy of grey areas in morality, which begs the question: Can a being of pure malevolence do good? In the end, all of these horrible occurrences were birthing pains to create a peaceful afterlife for humanity. To create Heaven.
Since the Idea of evil is based on the collective consciousness of people, If Griffith changes how people perceive the world, it will change the Idea of Evil. Perhaps turning even the God Hands into literal angels instead of Demons.
I dont think that the Idea of evil is what it pretending to be. I think its just some old dickhead sorcerer. I mean old old. He maybe lived in tribal times and witnessed some bad human shit. Sacrifices, brutally violent wars, cannibalism and all that stuff. He asked 'what is the reason?'. He dwelled deeper and deeper in the astral world and didnt find anything (or found something that he didnt like). Then he said 'If so, fuck it. Fuck these disgusting humans, fuck this shitty world. I will become the reason. At least no one will face the fact that there is no reason for all fucked up shit in the world'. And then he turned himself into an ass and starts spinning
You mean collective consciousness of Muira? Miura was their God. It was also hinted that Miura was warning his fans that he will die soon in his manga. Rabbit hole. 🤔☦
i love this especially when considering the conviction arc and how mozgus and his pseudo apostle torture squad all had angelic features (usually the wings) so who’s to say that griffith might not take a page from his book
I think it's not so simple as that. There's a dialogue where isidro ask if human stop believing in supernatural stuff, would they just go away? To then shcierke said that there's this things called subconscious that even human can't control. The idea of evil is even deeper than that, it already exist ever since mankind exist. Dwell within every human. Even if every human become good people, it will still exist subconsciously inside us. Because evil exist within every human, any human can do evil things. That is the idea of evil
@@Karma-cj1wu that's like the main attraction of hunter x hunter aswell. like it's the first adventure series that is actually about adventuring and exploring, like it's the thing that drives the story most of the time (like post chimera ant arc is all about the dark continent and wtf it even is).
Maybe it’s a stretch to say, but I feel like after listening to your theory, Guts is really the antithesis to the world around him. I can’t remember which part of the anime I watched or which page in the manga, but I remember one of Guts’ lines being “Once you die, that’s it. There’s nothing after that” or “When you meet your God, tell him to leave me the hell alone!” to Mozgus. The whole conviction arc was literally watching people die en masse and begging for salvation in unison probably wondering why God would allow something so horrible, while Guts went against the grain and took the evil around him head on instead of waiting on prayers and hope. Also Guts’ character going against the grain in almost every situation. He wasn’t supposed to survive the Eclipse, but by some crazy miracle he did.
And he wasn't supposed to survive his /birth./ A fetus can survive only a few minutes at most without his mother's oxygen. (furthermore, how did he get out of the birth canal without someone pushing?) It's a pretty recurring thing with him ;-).
18:00 the reason God required sacrifices in the old testament was for atonement of sin, not to give people rewards. That's why Jesus was sent to act as the ultimate sacrifice for the sin of mankind so humans wouldn't have to continually make sacrifices in order to atone (i.e. do 'works' in order to gain forgiveness from God), and Christ's death and resurrection acted as the supreme sacrificial lamb because according to the Bible he was without sin. Before that the only acceptable ways to earn God's forgiveness in the old testament you could not offer a sacrificial lamb every year that was imperfect and it had to be without blemish. There's a whole lot more to it but that's the general idea, just thought I'd fill you in on what was going down back in the day according to the Bible lol
@@arveuss Because the idea is that no man can pay for the wrath of God but God himself - hence his own incarnation: Jesus Christ. He was also killed by his own chosen people, the jews, which further demonstrate that humanity is utterly hopeless alone. Christ's death was not just for our crime of sin, but to take in His own wrath in our place. This all makes sense. If an Eternal God can be pleased by man alone... then he is no God - hence why we have the New Testiment
Another thing that plays a role in "Griffith is god" theory is the fact that he is himself (the father) and he is the moonlight boy (the son, since Griffith corrupted guts' son in casca's womb) and the holy spirit (he appears as a hawk to alot of people like when he took zodd's horn) So yes miura definitely hinted at him being God and so, is guts going to kill God?
@@МаксимК-я4ы nah I think it's going to be necessary. We already saw the pandemonium and Griffith kidnapping casca and we don't know if there is any even bigger worse plan in motion (which the godhand were eluding to) so I think he would have no choice other than kill him
@@mohamedelhediissa289 i think Berserk is too tragic to be just another revenge story with a happy ending. The way i see it, there is two outcomes: both Guts and Griffith are alive, or they are both dead. The struggle of Guts is eternal, and it could be ended only if his life ends too.
@@МаксимК-я4ы guts will live on as a god hand member after being offered the chance to become one by only sacrificing griffith. he will take voids place and others will be replaced for supporting griffith too much when guts was always meant to be the new ruler of evil. no one mortal in all of history has killed more things by his own hands than guts after all.
@@saturationstation1446 bro ur not the author lol. Talking about “ theres only two ways this can end” boi guts is the struggler who goes against causality. Not works with it
I think that Griffith bringing peace towards the end completely and that ending up killing him in some sort of a sense is exactly what would fit Berserk. Because Guts is in the end is THE Ubermench in Berserk. And his goal for the longest time now was going away from Griffith to find his own happiness, so through finding his own happiness, letting go of Griffith and stopping to believe that he will be a threat to him and his loved ones IS what could kill Griffith
I will say if it’s officially shown that griffith isn’t just Femto in human form but that they’re two separate beings still residing in the same body would be a very interesting plot development
Also: there have been many 'gods' in history, and not many of them were "the idea of Good" as you put it; many were supernatural, powerful beings that you could coerce into giving you what you wanted by sacrificing something that they wanted - this is much closer to the gods of evil you see in Berserk than the Christian God of the Bible.
And the more Guts hates him and wants to destroy him, the more powerful he is as a result. Gut's own idea of evil is so massive that it probably equates to at least 100 dudes. Which also means that if Guts finally comes to either forgive, or overcome his hatred somehow, Griffith will be much weaker. Plus that adds to another theory that I heard which says Griffith can't be hurt by those who hate him. Since Rickert can apparently slap tf out of Griffith (having been told by guts, "You could never really hate Griffith..." or something along those lines. Plus many people have hinted to guts that he HAS to let go of his darkness or he will be consumed by it in the same way that Skull knight was.
My own theory of how things will go with berserk’s ending is based around one of the core features of the series and some variation of it can be found in every arc: the dynamics and moral ambiguity of relationship of all types. Either with relationships of families, war buddies, friends, religion, mentors, rivals/enemies, governments, fundamental powers of the world, etc. With the core relationship of the series being that holds casca, guts, and Griffith’s fate together. And my beliefs as how things are going to turn out is more based on guts making Griffith learn he has no power over him no matter how hard he plays god rather than an actual fight. Which guts will probably show Griffith that he’s as powerless as he was when he beat him on that snowy hill top ... by fully sacrificing himself for his friends and casca. This doesn’t mean guts gives up struggling or turns into either an zod or skull knight, but left on his own terms to protect those he cherished rather then going berserk. With Griffith having to acknowledge he lost guts in such an way that it proved he was an better man than him and no way to truly bring him back. You’ll see he never moved past the first time he lost guts, while guts became something he could never dream to be - leading to Griffith fully snapping and losing himself. With his kingdom and fame fading away into irrelevancy and guts memory living on for eternity.
I thought about your theory again and again, and I think I figured it out. Rickert is able to slap Griffith in the face, right? and he is one of the few people who doesn't see Griffith as a god. Guts couldn't land a hit on him cause he believes him to be a god, so if he somehow stops seeing Griffith as part of the godhead, God stops existing and dies by his hand. Right now in the story, Griffith is planning to follow the Bakiraka and Rickert, I think its to destroy the only thing able of seeing him for what he is. Rickert. Maybe it'll backfire and Rickert will be the end of Griffith or Guts and the berserker armor find a way to shut him down. We also gotta pay attention to Zodd, he seems to have his doubts about Griffith/Femto being the god he is. Maybe if he stops believing him to be the almighty Godhand member, he can cut Femto down as well.
Wow, those are some thoughts! So even though Rickert "can't hate Griffith," according to Guts, he might be the only one in the world who can kill Griffith. Or at least bitch-slap him. ✋
Griffith being God or at least part of the GodHand (and in touch with causality) probably sees the outcome you have theorized and won't allow for it to happen. Heck, he orchestrated the entire merger of the astral and physical realms through what he already knew SkullKnight would do back at the start of the Fantasia arc. He practically ensured that conflict was automatic since the astral creatures would inevitably have trouble coexisting with humanity, and vice versa. And then he positioned himself as the loving savior of humanity by amassing and leading apostles and humans alike. He can and probably will continue to create a necessity for him to exist as the deity of Falconia, if he is indeed God and desires to continue to exist. I think, instead of focusing solely on chapter 83, we also have to take take into account the other themes and statements in the entirety of Miura's work. I'm pertaining to causality being a river, it being a spiral instead of a circle that repeats, and specifically what it means to Guts being referred to as the sole fish making splashes in the river of causality.
I cant even begin to speculate the ending probably because I finally picked up the black swordsman arc after watching so many summary and lore theory videos and just started reading the manga for myself but I just picture Griffith being dragged to hell by the band of the hawk and the end of everything
no offense man but idk if u understand the basics of nietzche. maybe yr just skimming over it but nietzche didnt mean god would LITERALLY die. He meant that god would fall out of the public consciousness essentially in the 20th century bc of the enlightenment
Bro.... just blew my mind. Honestly believe this theory could be either really close or 99.9% cannon. Genuinely genius theory an best I've ever heard. Would be such a mind blowing if the story tilts this way years down the road. Thank you for covering this my man, first video of yours I've watched. im a die hard berserk fan an this sounds 👏 amazing 👏
This video has planted some interesting ideas in my head. I never really considered what makes the things we consider moral, moral, but I suppose it really is the fear of hell. But now that I know that if hell doesn't exist (for me), essentially it doesn't exist, therefore I might just start acting devious and nefarious. In order to prevent that from happening, I need suffering, as I will seek a way out of suffering. Now that I know that God will stop me from suffering, I will follow everything that God wants me to do, that is, virtuous things. We are stuck between either a perpetually monotonous existence where we simply follow the flow of causality with no differentiation between whether something is good or bad. Or, we suffer sometimes, and prosper sometimes, which actually allows us to feel prosperity. If all we feel is happiness, it is not distinguishable so it is not truly happiness.
This feels intuitive but I don’t know if it’s actually true. For example if sexual assault did not exist I don’t think I would appreciate ice cream any less. I don’t know if you truly need unwarranted suffering to appreciate something pleasant.
@@Chris-hz8lj it's more like everyday would be monotonous and life would have no meaning. You appreciate ice cream more because you had to work for the money that you need to buy it.
I don’t have much to add. Just some observation that lead me to concur. I didn’t think of it that way, but what with Griffith being a corrupted version of the archetypal hero, he really couldn’t consolidate his plans for the world with his personal connection with Guts. So, he needed to throw away his humanity for his dream to come true. What was left was a kind of archetypal shadow that acted in accordance with Griffith’s wishes without any moral constraints. In that way, I agree that Femto was a tool for Griffith. I believe that it was through his connection to God that he influenced the events of the conviction arc, and, while merely an avatar for God before, came to fully embody God in the minds of the people. I think Griffith was someone who put his dream above the needs of any one person, including himself. I think he thought that it represented a “greater good”, so his goals were always pretty utilitarian IMO. Problem with utilitarianism is that it can be used to justify atrocities against minorities. Guts is less about some grand goal as much as finding that Nietzschean meaning in the struggle/striving. Guts embraces his own humanity where Griffith discarded his. That’s why Griffith will fall. Because he is now SUBSERVIENT to the whims of humanity. Maybe they both have to die, one way or another.😕
Interesting but a couple of things might simply not work. For one Griffith needed Gut's son in order to take corporeal form, he did not have the power to simply make himself mortal again, that in itself to me shows his limitations and he is not forced to share this body. This also means that for Griffith to die, Gut's son must die, which is a brilliant set up on the idea of sacrifice. "Is Guts willing to sacrifice his own son to achieve his goal of killing Griffith?" Very much on theme, almost biblical, to me that is how it will end, with the outcome of that choice.
I don't think Griffith cares world that much... Considering he is playing saviour by casually creating all of the problems with Godhand. Sacriface was completed, he lacks all kinds of humanity, his dream seems egoistic. How can we trust him? Is it true that trusting a guy that we can't understand his goals? Especially if we consider he is a godhand Also Guts always care his team and Casca, even ready for dying for them :D
I remember hearing this, “If we die, god dies.” Meaning without humanity aka humans god ceases to be as well. Loved your video and how you articulated everything. You sir are a legend.
18:25 dude did you literally say Abel was jealous of Cain and Abel thus killed Cain??? I know your not religious ( neither am I) but Cain was the envious one who killed Abel...
I love how this theory has poetic themes that the dream for which griffith did every thing up to this point and even sacrificed his found family which he always saw as tools but still the closest thing akin to a family just for a kingdom and as we know the people are the kingdom so that very own kingdom will lead to his demise is such a beautiful ending fitting for a masterpiece and one of the greatest manga ever told
After watching the entire video I do disagree with your theory, or at least parts of it. The Collective Unconscious of Man always leans on carnal things such as rewards, Christianity specifically is the Antithesis to what Humans want, it promotes self sacrifice and suffering in the name of righteousness. The Idea of Evil is the god of the world (Satan), Lucifer in the Bible is referred to as the Prince of this world. So it is safe to assume Berserk is trying to tell us of the problems that people face when they deem themselves as God. This is exemplified in what the Idea of Evil told Griffith: “Do as you will”, in Christian belief, Satan is not a singular individual but many, *cough*, *cough*, the Godhand, these Demons are supposed to tempt humans into their own carnal delusions. Because of this, I do believe that the God in Berserk is the sum of the Collective Unconscious, as this worlds God is all about the flesh. If anybody disagrees or wants to know more about the logic I use behind this, feel free to respond. I really enjoyed the video, great content
I understand that this maybe isn't about chirtianty but about berserk, but still i feel like i must say that just bc we don't believe in God doesn't mean he is dead or doesn't exist. God is eternal, if you say one plus one doesn't equal two does that mean it's true? But i understand that this was about Berserk.
I don't know if this makes sense but doesn't Griffith mimic Christianity . Father(idea of evil) son(Griffith the one coimg to earth) and the holy spirit(Femto) they're one and 3 at the same time . All of them have different purpose but the same identity
griffith was meant to become god for he was the vehicle to mature guts in understanding his suffering to create a tangible god to slaughter in order to finally kill the god that cursed him to live the life he has lived
i like the idea more than it what will end up being in the end because the prophecy states "age of darkness" which implies griffigt only seeks to fool humanity and not higher purpose.
The rest of the quote for Nietzche is really important, and it's often completely ignored. "God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves?" This isn't a good thing, it's a catastrophe. By annihilating the governing cosmic force, the Arbiter of Good and Evil, there is nothing capable of telling us to do any thing and nothing that can tell us to stop. That's why his prediction was so accurate, it's basic human nature. With nothing to stop any action, and with the arrogance of the 'enlightenment' came the obvious pitfalls of morality. If there is no God, morality is subjective and therefore malleable by the strong and forced upon the weak. The question of "is this moral" was ignored, because there was nothing left to judge if it was right or wrong, only the individuals deciding it was expedient or useful.
I agree to disagree. Griffith was basically talking to Muira since he created them through his consciousness. Makes sense since they are connected to each other. Who created Miura? Our God Himself. Rabbit hole. God was never dead. I forgot to mention that Muira warned his fans in the manga that he was going to die since he was God in this manga. ☦🤔
OK, so (in the world of Berserk?) the idea of God is a coping mechanism, but all the demon 'Apostles' are real? This is the sort of thing which sounds pretty smart, but is actually really dumb.
Cain is the one who killed Abel. God was pleased with Abel for giving up his best crops for sacrifice and he was unhappy with Cain for sacrificing a sickly calf
Ideas of heaven and hell actually stem from ancient belief systems like Buddhism and Hinduism. Buddhism specifically do not claim there is a single creator or one 'god'. Christianity and Islam are relatively modern religions in comparison
Arveuss, First time viewer here. Love the video! I'm not usually a fan of anime theory videos, but this was excellently done. You said it yourself, this wasn't going to be like a lot of other theory videos. Here's my take away: As a former atheist (however you'd like to define that), the question that brought me back to God, and an interesting question in regards to this video generally, is: "Is morality real and objective? Are 'right' and 'wrong' actual distinctions?" If no, then anything is permissible (see moral relativism). Any horrific act imaginable (including an Eclipse). If yes, then there must be a transcendental arbiter (a god, If you will) that creates moral rules. Human beings certainly cannot choose what is right or wrong. We can describe them that way, but we do not decide which is which (this is in direct opposition to the view known as moral relativism).
Human beings in a mob What's a mob to a king? What's a king to a god? What's a god to a non-believer? Who don't believe in anything? Will he make it out alive? Alright, alright No church in the wild What is a powerful wind a storm After Fantasia arc there's a flashback which shows Guts in a dungeon, it is revealed Guts to have had a super natural encounter with a flower spirit. The Flower Storm Monarch is helping him right now so there allies plus Ricket too a non believer.
I'm not trying to be rude. I don't think you actually understand Nietzsche. I have no clue if I am correct. To me it seems as if you were excluding yourself from the group of people who believe in God. I don't think you know Christian history very well. Because of that I don't think you understand the time he grew up in. Leading you to not understand his critique.
guts embracing anger pain and hatred could be the embodiment of the devil. Is it simple coincidence that guts' inner darkness is a hell hound? random food for thoughts lol
I disagree that guts will use it to become an apostle as i feel that goes against the core message of berserk, i feel that gut will kill griffith but not with anger but with necessity, guts hates griffith and is unable to hit him just like skull knight hates the god hand and cannon hit them. I think hatred is what gives them power. The hatred off the ones they betrayed. cause why else would a scarfice of ones loved one be needed to become an aposle because the hatred created from betrayal gives them power. The only time we ever see griffith gets hit is when ricket slaps griffith. Guts talks with ricket before this and tells him that he can never hate griffith, and i think that's what allowed him to be hit. Just like how the idea of evil is the personification of humanity hatred, an aposle is the prersonification of the sacrifices hatred So, in the end, i think guts will learn to fully accept what has happened to him and free himself from hate, and will kill griffith without malice
We are ALL in the collective unconscious, and we are all, collectively, God. In Berserk, specifically, each if those GodHand members went through the exact same process of confronting the Idea of Evil.
I really liked this video and the philosophy incorporated. I'm not sure if this was your direct implication, but personally I don't think Griffith is the literal incarnation of the Idea of God. While he brings in some of that Nietzche philosophy pertaining to God, I like much prefer the idea he is simply a person who represents fate (while Guts represents free-will) not an extra-dimensional being. Predicting the end of Berserk is tough (with something like ASOIAF I understand the broadstrokes pretty well, and know the "what" - with the help of the TV show - just not the how). Personally, I don't think they should try to go bigger than Emperor Ganishka. He made himself a Lovecraftian God and caused the astral world to merge, you can't really get much bigger.
I think Griffith is going to sacrifice Falconia to become the new God. It is shown that there was an old God Hand. Where did those old God Hand members go? I'm thinking one or more became the current idea of evil.
Great video, wonderful musings. Perhaps it makes Griffith 'Jesus' because Femto created him to serve like a human with powers on earth? Overall great. One BIG eye twitch though..... Able didn't kill Kane in the bible..... Kane killed able. That mistake made me face palm a little tbh. But again, otherwise it was a good video.
6:11 The reason we ask God for forgiveness when we choose to ignore our conscience is because we are asking ourselves for forgiveness. Whenever we hear our conscience loudly, it is a result of ourselves screaming at us to not take the wrong path. Trust your gut, it knows your fate and destiny better than you do because it has already chosen to ignore itself, died, and is now shouting at you during the life retrospective to avoid the same mistakes it made. But don't worry if you ignore your conscience. For better or worse, you're going to keep respawning from a checkpoint until you get it right. Welcome to Hell. The faster you learn to listen to your conscience, the faster you get to leave this reality.
hey arveuss i noticed you are a huge berserk fan. So idk if you have but if you haven't please play soulsborne games (dark souls 1-3, bloodborne, sekiro and elden ring) these games are clearly inspired by berserk. And some parts are prolly the best in fiction
nice video though you say we dont know what Griffith sacrificed to become a god but much was sacrificed when his worldly form was born with the egg of the perfect world right?
Bro butchered the Bible. Cain and Able both made sacrifices, however Able did it with a loving heart and Cain did it wanting to be rewarded. God rewarded Able for being pure of heart and Cain with envy killed Able.
Berserk is going to end when Disney buys it next year so they can make a Live adaption. Guts will realize "they" are Pansexual and die after "they" try to fck the Dragonslayer. Casca? I think it's blatantly obvious that "he" will be trans Rickert? Ends up being sentenced to life in a Kushan Prison for being a "far right Griffith supporter". Griffith? Starts the new Jedi Order and is the bestest Jedi ever after it's revealed that "she" was a "birthing person" the entire time. Prove me wrong, I dare ya.
So this whole time people thought Nietzsche was developing his own philosophy about the world, but he was actually just theorizing about potential Berserk endings.
Truly peak intellectual.
This seems similar to what I theorized a few years back after reading Berserk a bunch. If multiple people are coming up with this basic idea, it seems to me it's got some meat to it.
The Berserk universe does not have a god, heaven, or hell as we think of them. The only god is The Idea Of Evil, which appears as a heart, constantly pumping souls in and out of the afterlife.
When Griffith transforms, he meets The Idea. It explains that it came into existence from humanity’s collective will. Humanity always needs there to be a reason for bad things to happen, but never question why good things happen. Thus, The Idea acts as a god, but being inherently evil, it can only make terrible things occur overall, which is why the world is so horrible.
The Idea tells Griffith he is instrumental to some plan that The Idea has to change everything. Now, this means a lot in connection to Griffith himself. He bears the Crimson Behelit, an object bearing the name “The Egg of the King”. He is consistently held as a great man with numerous followers and limitless charisma. People believe him to be their “Savior”. He leads a group of monstrous people called, “Apostles” as his closest followers.
Now, think about Guts. His vendetta after the eclipse has led him to slaughter countless demons, bathing his sword in their blood. This made the Dragon Slayer sword able to wound God Hand members. He also carries a behelit, which he took from The Count/Slug Apostle. The behelits are supposed to change fate itself to create the future according to The Idea’s plans, and will always find their master. This is the true reason why Guts has survived so long. While he was a close follower of Griffith’s, but has been always viewed by the masses as a horrible person, or as a lesser one.
If you take these things into account, I think it’s quite clear. Griffith is to achieve his greatest heights, instilling hope to the masses. Only then, Guts will finally get his revenge and kill Griffith, by utilizing his behelit as a weapon, which was demonstrated by Skull Knight. To humanity, Guts has killed their savior. But Griffith’s death will martyr him and give the people a new belief. They will create a Heaven and come to believe in “The Idea Of Good”, so to speak.
This means that Griffith is a twisted analogue to Jesus, while Guts will be that world’s version of Judas. It also completes Berserk’s philosophy of grey areas in morality, which begs the question: Can a being of pure malevolence do good?
In the end, all of these horrible occurrences were birthing pains to create a peaceful afterlife for humanity. To create Heaven.

I can’t remember which part of the anime I watched or which page in the manga, but I remember one of Guts’ lines being “Once you die, that’s it. There’s nothing after that” or “When you meet your God, tell him to leave me the hell alone!” to Mozgus. The whole conviction arc was literally watching people die en masse and begging for salvation in unison probably wondering why God would allow something so horrible, while Guts went against the grain and took the evil around him head on instead of waiting on prayers and hope. Also Guts’ character going against the grain in almost every situation. He wasn’t supposed to survive the Eclipse, but by some crazy miracle he did.
guts is the living definition of fighting battles that you know you wont win but at least be able to survive
And he wasn't supposed to survive his /birth./
A fetus can survive only a few minutes at most without his mother's oxygen.
(furthermore, how did he get out of the birth canal without someone pushing?)
It's a pretty recurring thing with him ;-).
18:00 the reason God required sacrifices in the old testament was for atonement of sin, not to give people rewards. That's why Jesus was sent to act as the ultimate sacrifice for the sin of mankind so humans wouldn't have to continually make sacrifices in order to atone (i.e. do 'works' in order to gain forgiveness from God), and Christ's death and resurrection acted as the supreme sacrificial lamb because according to the Bible he was without sin. Before that the only acceptable ways to earn God's forgiveness in the old testament you could not offer a sacrificial lamb every year that was imperfect and it had to be without blemish. There's a whole lot more to it but that's the general idea, just thought I'd fill you in on what was going down back in the day according to the Bible lol
That's really cool, I gotta read more into it.
Yo, I've seen you around. Do you also search h berserk and search by "today " ?🤣
@@rovite359 nah I just happen to subscribe to every channel which even remotely has berserk content🤷♂️
@@arveuss Because the idea is that no man can pay for the wrath of God but God himself - hence his own incarnation: Jesus Christ.
He was also killed by his own chosen people, the jews, which further demonstrate that humanity is utterly hopeless alone.
Christ's death was not just for our crime of sin, but to take in His own wrath in our place.
This all makes sense. If an Eternal God can be pleased by man alone... then he is no God - hence why we have the New Testiment
Because God loves the smell of burning flesh
griffith the moonlight boy and femto.... the father the son and the holy spirit....
Holy shit
Bruh moment
aw hell nah the spirit comitting devious actions
This is single handedly the dumbest comment I’ve ever read in my entire life. I genuinely do not know why you would post this.
Thats a bullshit theory
This theory is so out of the box, it might actually be a bullseye. It makes a lot of sense too, and way too much stuff aligns nicely.
Another thing that plays a role in "Griffith is god" theory is the fact that he is himself (the father) and he is the moonlight boy (the son, since Griffith corrupted guts' son in casca's womb) and the holy spirit (he appears as a hawk to alot of people like when he took zodd's horn)
So yes miura definitely hinted at him being God and so, is guts going to kill God?
No way. Guts is not going to kill Griffith. He's a changed man, he just wants to have peaceful life with Casca.
@@МаксимК-я4ы nah I think it's going to be necessary.
We already saw the pandemonium and Griffith kidnapping casca and we don't know if there is any even bigger worse plan in motion (which the godhand were eluding to) so I think he would have no choice other than kill him
@@mohamedelhediissa289 i think Berserk is too tragic to be just another revenge story with a happy ending. The way i see it, there is two outcomes: both Guts and Griffith are alive, or they are both dead. The struggle of Guts is eternal, and it could be ended only if his life ends too.
@@МаксимК-я4ы guts will live on as a god hand member after being offered the chance to become one by only sacrificing griffith. he will take voids place and others will be replaced for supporting griffith too much when guts was always meant to be the new ruler of evil. no one mortal in all of history has killed more things by his own hands than guts after all.
@@saturationstation1446 bro ur not the author lol. Talking about “ theres only two ways this can end” boi guts is the struggler who goes against causality. Not works with it
I think that Griffith bringing peace towards the end completely and that ending up killing him in some sort of a sense is exactly what would fit Berserk. Because Guts is in the end is THE Ubermench in Berserk. And his goal for the longest time now was going away from Griffith to find his own happiness, so through finding his own happiness, letting go of Griffith and stopping to believe that he will be a threat to him and his loved ones IS what could kill Griffith
Also really nice little touch of quoting Nietzsche similarly to the Bible that was sick af lmao
i still think falconia is going to be a huge sacrifice to the godhand. it fits griffith so well
@@randomannoyanceIts the perfect place for One Last Sacrifice!
P.S: I wonder if classic king Geisarec actually sacrificed his own kingdown.
I will say if it’s officially shown that griffith isn’t just Femto in human form but that they’re two separate beings still residing in the same body would be a very interesting plot development
The fact that he apparently seems to share a body with the Moonlightboy at least to some degree would support that
Also: there have been many 'gods' in history, and not many of them were "the idea of Good" as you put it; many were supernatural, powerful beings that you could coerce into giving you what you wanted by sacrificing something that they wanted - this is much closer to the gods of evil you see in Berserk than the Christian God of the Bible.
They were demons in disguise there are many gods in the world but only one true God ✝️
And the more Guts hates him and wants to destroy him, the more powerful he is as a result. Gut's own idea of evil is so massive that it probably equates to at least 100 dudes. Which also means that if Guts finally comes to either forgive, or overcome his hatred somehow, Griffith will be much weaker. Plus that adds to another theory that I heard which says Griffith can't be hurt by those who hate him. Since Rickert can apparently slap tf out of Griffith (having been told by guts, "You could never really hate Griffith..." or something along those lines. Plus many people have hinted to guts that he HAS to let go of his darkness or he will be consumed by it in the same way that Skull knight was.
This is like a fever dream you have after cramming for a philosophy 101 exam.
You told the story right but got the name mixed up. Cain killed Abel. Thanks for the great video it makes sense and is a very plausible theory!
My own theory of how things will go with berserk’s ending is based around one of the core features of the series and some variation of it can be found in every arc: the dynamics and moral ambiguity of relationship of all types. Either with relationships of families, war buddies, friends, religion, mentors, rivals/enemies, governments, fundamental powers of the world, etc.
With the core relationship of the series being that holds casca, guts, and Griffith’s fate together. And my beliefs as how things are going to turn out is more based on guts making Griffith learn he has no power over him no matter how hard he plays god rather than an actual fight. Which guts will probably show Griffith that he’s as powerless as he was when he beat him on that snowy hill top ... by fully sacrificing himself for his friends and casca. This doesn’t mean guts gives up struggling or turns into either an zod or skull knight, but left on his own terms to protect those he cherished rather then going berserk.
With Griffith having to acknowledge he lost guts in such an way that it proved he was an better man than him and no way to truly bring him back. You’ll see he never moved past the first time he lost guts, while guts became something he could never dream to be - leading to Griffith fully snapping and losing himself. With his kingdom and fame fading away into irrelevancy and guts memory living on for eternity.
you have no idea how many times ive watched this video. it blows me away, I'm a writer and I'm using this an inspiration
Spoiler for Devilman
This theory really reminds me of how Ryo turned out to be Satan in Devilman which was a massive inspiration for Berserk
U high asf
@@dmetriusmarch nah
put a spoiler warning bro
@@doca_don4619 just saw this reply sorry
I thought about your theory again and again, and I think I figured it out.
Rickert is able to slap Griffith in the face, right? and he is one of the few people who doesn't see Griffith as a god.
Guts couldn't land a hit on him cause he believes him to be a god, so if he somehow stops seeing Griffith as part of the godhead, God stops existing and dies by his hand. Right now in the story, Griffith is planning to follow the Bakiraka and Rickert, I think its to destroy the only thing able of seeing him for what he is. Rickert.
Maybe it'll backfire and Rickert will be the end of Griffith or Guts and the berserker armor find a way to shut him down.
We also gotta pay attention to Zodd, he seems to have his doubts about Griffith/Femto being the god he is. Maybe if he stops believing him to be the almighty Godhand member, he can cut Femto down as well.
Wow, those are some thoughts! So even though Rickert "can't hate Griffith," according to Guts, he might be the only one in the world who can kill Griffith. Or at least bitch-slap him. ✋
Cain killed Abel, not the other way around.
The moment you said fredrick neitzsche’s name wrong I was like nah I won’t continue listening
This just showed me that your theory is built on weak evidence since understanding neitzsche is hard and a bit subjective
Griffith being God or at least part of the GodHand (and in touch with causality) probably sees the outcome you have theorized and won't allow for it to happen.
Heck, he orchestrated the entire merger of the astral and physical realms through what he already knew SkullKnight would do back at the start of the Fantasia arc.
He practically ensured that conflict was automatic since the astral creatures would inevitably have trouble coexisting with humanity, and vice versa.
And then he positioned himself as the loving savior of humanity by amassing and leading apostles and humans alike.
He can and probably will continue to create a necessity for him to exist as the deity of Falconia, if he is indeed God and desires to continue to exist.
I think, instead of focusing solely on chapter 83, we also have to take take into account the other themes and statements in the entirety of Miura's work.
I'm pertaining to causality being a river, it being a spiral instead of a circle that repeats,
and specifically what it means to Guts being referred to as the sole fish making splashes in the river of causality.
I cant even begin to speculate the ending probably because I finally picked up the black swordsman arc after watching so many summary and lore theory videos and just started reading the manga for myself but I just picture Griffith being dragged to hell by the band of the hawk and the end of everything
no offense man but idk if u understand the basics of nietzche. maybe yr just skimming over it but nietzche didnt mean god would LITERALLY die. He meant that god would fall out of the public consciousness essentially in the 20th century bc of the enlightenment
Its extremely important to add what he said after “god is dead”
The theory sounds insanely good, Griffith as a god bringing his own downfall sounds so nice
Spoiler , he created his own downfall , demon child , moonlight boy , gut's child 😂
Bro.... just blew my mind. Honestly believe this theory could be either really close or 99.9% cannon. Genuinely genius theory an best I've ever heard. Would be such a mind blowing if the story tilts this way years down the road.
Thank you for covering this my man, first video of yours I've watched.
im a die hard berserk fan an this sounds 👏 amazing 👏
The german Word for passion "Leidenschaft" literally translates to "sufferingship" btw in case anyone wanted to know
This video has planted some interesting ideas in my head. I never really considered what makes the things we consider moral, moral, but I suppose it really is the fear of hell. But now that I know that if hell doesn't exist (for me), essentially it doesn't exist, therefore I might just start acting devious and nefarious.
In order to prevent that from happening, I need suffering, as I will seek a way out of suffering. Now that I know that God will stop me from suffering, I will follow everything that God wants me to do, that is, virtuous things.
We are stuck between either a perpetually monotonous existence where we simply follow the flow of causality with no differentiation between whether something is good or bad.
Or, we suffer sometimes, and prosper sometimes, which actually allows us to feel prosperity. If all we feel is happiness, it is not distinguishable so it is not truly happiness.
This feels intuitive but I don’t know if it’s actually true. For example if sexual assault did not exist I don’t think I would appreciate ice cream any less. I don’t know if you truly need unwarranted suffering to appreciate something pleasant.
@@Chris-hz8lj it's more like everyday would be monotonous and life would have no meaning. You appreciate ice cream more because you had to work for the money that you need to buy it.
I believe he said chapter 83 revealed a lot of how stuff works in berserk, not necessarily that it spoiled the ending. But great theory regardless.
Honestly Miura dying before finishing Berserk might be the greatest tragedy to literature since Alexandria 😢
I don’t have much to add. Just some observation that lead me to concur. I didn’t think of it that way, but what with Griffith being a corrupted version of the archetypal hero, he really couldn’t consolidate his plans for the world with his personal connection with Guts. So, he needed to throw away his humanity for his dream to come true. What was left was a kind of archetypal shadow that acted in accordance with Griffith’s wishes without any moral constraints. In that way, I agree that Femto was a tool for Griffith. I believe that it was through his connection to God that he influenced the events of the conviction arc, and, while merely an avatar for God before, came to fully embody God in the minds of the people. I think Griffith was someone who put his dream above the needs of any one person, including himself. I think he thought that it represented a “greater good”, so his goals were always pretty utilitarian IMO. Problem with utilitarianism is that it can be used to justify atrocities against minorities. Guts is less about some grand goal as much as finding that Nietzschean meaning in the struggle/striving. Guts embraces his own humanity where Griffith discarded his. That’s why Griffith will fall. Because he is now SUBSERVIENT to the whims of humanity. Maybe they both have to die, one way or another.😕
Interesting but a couple of things might simply not work.
For one Griffith needed Gut's son in order to take corporeal form, he did not have the power to simply make himself mortal again, that in itself to me shows his limitations and he is not forced to share this body.
This also means that for Griffith to die, Gut's son must die, which is a brilliant set up on the idea of sacrifice. "Is Guts willing to sacrifice his own son to achieve his goal of killing Griffith?" Very much on theme, almost biblical, to me that is how it will end, with the outcome of that choice.
Griffith: I do this for the world.
Guts: I do this for myself.
Wrong, Griffith also does it for himself
Reread the Golden Age arc
Griffith is trying to control the world around him, while guts is trying to control himself
I don't think Griffith cares world that much... Considering he is playing saviour by casually creating all of the problems with Godhand.
Sacriface was completed, he lacks all kinds of humanity, his dream seems egoistic. How can we trust him? Is it true that trusting a guy that we can't understand his goals? Especially if we consider he is a godhand
Also Guts always care his team and Casca, even ready for dying for them :D
I remember hearing this, “If we die, god dies.” Meaning without humanity aka humans god ceases to be as well. Loved your video and how you articulated everything. You sir are a legend.
It is a very very well writen scrypt, but honestly, I think Idea of evil says what it said to Griffith to every Godhand member when they ascend.
This video was just crazy, I loved that.
Very underrated theory! I applaud your thinking
The Death Of God was also touched upon in Paul Harvey's *"If I were the Devil"* radio broadcast Foretold the coming decay of this country today!
18:25 dude did you literally say Abel was jealous of Cain and Abel thus killed Cain??? I know your not religious ( neither am I) but Cain was the envious one who killed Abel...
I love how this theory has poetic themes that the dream for which griffith did every thing up to this point and even sacrificed his found family which he always saw as tools but still the closest thing akin to a family just for a kingdom
and as we know the people are the kingdom so that very own kingdom will lead to his demise is such a beautiful ending fitting for a masterpiece and one of the greatest manga ever told
Damn man. Found your page today and I’m diving deep into all your Berserk videos.
After watching the entire video I do disagree with your theory, or at least parts of it. The Collective Unconscious of Man always leans on carnal things such as rewards, Christianity specifically is the Antithesis to what Humans want, it promotes self sacrifice and suffering in the name of righteousness. The Idea of Evil is the god of the world (Satan), Lucifer in the Bible is referred to as the Prince of this world. So it is safe to assume Berserk is trying to tell us of the problems that people face when they deem themselves as God. This is exemplified in what the Idea of Evil told Griffith: “Do as you will”, in Christian belief, Satan is not a singular individual but many, *cough*, *cough*, the Godhand, these Demons are supposed to tempt humans into their own carnal delusions. Because of this, I do believe that the God in Berserk is the sum of the Collective Unconscious, as this worlds God is all about the flesh. If anybody disagrees or wants to know more about the logic I use behind this, feel free to respond. I really enjoyed the video, great content
I understand that this maybe isn't about chirtianty but about berserk, but still i feel like i must say that just bc we don't believe in God doesn't mean he is dead or doesn't exist. God is eternal, if you say one plus one doesn't equal two does that mean it's true? But i understand that this was about Berserk.
I don't know if this makes sense but doesn't Griffith mimic Christianity . Father(idea of evil) son(Griffith the one coimg to earth) and the holy spirit(Femto) they're one and 3 at the same time . All of them have different purpose but the same identity
Why does all of this make so much sense?
The video needs a revision w Cain and Abel being the absolute reverse of what the Bible says happened w those two.
griffith was meant to become god for he was the vehicle to mature guts in understanding his suffering to create a tangible god to slaughter in order to finally kill the god that cursed him to live the life he has lived
i like the idea more than it what will end up being in the end because the prophecy states "age of darkness" which implies griffigt only seeks to fool humanity and not higher purpose.
The rest of the quote for Nietzche is really important, and it's often completely ignored.
"God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves?"
This isn't a good thing, it's a catastrophe. By annihilating the governing cosmic force, the Arbiter of Good and Evil, there is nothing capable of telling us to do any thing and nothing that can tell us to stop.
That's why his prediction was so accurate, it's basic human nature. With nothing to stop any action, and with the arrogance of the 'enlightenment' came the obvious pitfalls of morality. If there is no God, morality is subjective and therefore malleable by the strong and forced upon the weak. The question of "is this moral" was ignored, because there was nothing left to judge if it was right or wrong, only the individuals deciding it was expedient or useful.
I agree to disagree. Griffith was basically talking to Muira since he created them through his consciousness. Makes sense since they are connected to each other. Who created Miura? Our God Himself. Rabbit hole. God was never dead. I forgot to mention that Muira warned his fans in the manga that he was going to die since he was God in this manga. ☦🤔
Honestly very sad
@@mochiisntbad6762 Very.
If guts kills griffith, he kills his own son, the moonlight boy. That will also become an issue someday.
Fried Rick knee cha.
Ole Freddy nachos. Been seeing him every where lately.
Why is people thinking that life has no real meaning "unfortunate"??
2:10 Friday Nietzsche?
It seems a legit theory, thanks :)
Subbed. Great movie dude.
You made me want to re-read entire manga now thanks
OK, so (in the world of Berserk?) the idea of God is a coping mechanism, but all the demon 'Apostles' are real? This is the sort of thing which sounds pretty smart, but is actually really dumb.
The idea of evil started as an idea, but it became real due to the belief of men.
Cain is the one who killed Abel. God was pleased with Abel for giving up his best crops for sacrifice and he was unhappy with Cain for sacrificing a sickly calf
Ideas of heaven and hell actually stem from ancient belief systems like Buddhism and Hinduism. Buddhism specifically do not claim there is a single creator or one 'god'. Christianity and Islam are relatively modern religions in comparison
cane killed able not the other way around but a very interesting theory
Awesome theory❤🎉
Good video, but one correction is that sacrifice didn’t originate from cane and Abel, it originated from Adam and Eve.
I'm at work having a existential crises now 😂
Very interesting threory! Especially about the storie's ending
Bruh, I dig this theory, awesome sauce. Thank you
great theory !
Arveuss,
First time viewer here. Love the video! I'm not usually a fan of anime theory videos, but this was excellently done. You said it yourself, this wasn't going to be like a lot of other theory videos.
Here's my take away: As a former atheist (however you'd like to define that), the question that brought me back to God, and an interesting question in regards to this video generally, is: "Is morality real and objective? Are 'right' and 'wrong' actual distinctions?"
If no, then anything is permissible (see moral relativism). Any horrific act imaginable (including an Eclipse).
If yes, then there must be a transcendental arbiter (a god, If you will) that creates moral rules.
Human beings certainly cannot choose what is right or wrong. We can describe them that way, but we do not decide which is which (this is in direct opposition to the view known as moral relativism).
Human beings in a mob
What's a mob to a king?
What's a king to a god?
What's a god to a non-believer?
Who don't believe in anything?
Will he make it out alive?
Alright, alright
No church in the wild
What is a powerful wind a storm
After Fantasia arc there's a flashback which shows Guts in a dungeon, it is revealed Guts to have had a super natural encounter with a flower spirit.
The Flower Storm Monarch is helping him right now so there allies plus Ricket too a non believer.
wow, im only 10 minutes in the video and its the best theory I ever listen to, great analisys!
I'm not trying to be rude. I don't think you actually understand Nietzsche. I have no clue if I am correct. To me it seems as if you were excluding yourself from the group of people who believe in God. I don't think you know Christian history very well. Because of that I don't think you understand the time he grew up in. Leading you to not understand his critique.
guts embracing anger pain and hatred could be the embodiment of the devil. Is it simple coincidence that guts' inner darkness is a hell hound?
random food for thoughts lol
This is very big brain sir
I disagree that guts will use it to become an apostle as i feel that goes against the core message of berserk, i feel that gut will kill griffith but not with anger but with necessity, guts hates griffith and is unable to hit him just like skull knight hates the god hand and cannon hit them. I think hatred is what gives them power. The hatred off the ones they betrayed. cause why else would a scarfice of ones loved one be needed to become an aposle because the hatred created from betrayal gives them power. The only time we ever see griffith gets hit is when ricket slaps griffith. Guts talks with ricket before this and tells him that he can never hate griffith, and i think that's what allowed him to be hit.
Just like how the idea of evil is the personification of humanity hatred, an aposle is the prersonification of the sacrifices hatred
So, in the end, i think guts will learn to fully accept what has happened to him and free himself from hate, and will kill griffith without malice
Cool but void isn’t involved enough in this theory and miura said he was key to the story
nice theory!
gets discussion going, i love it!
What is the thumbnail from? I know i've seen that pose before, with another character other than griffith. It's eating my mind, what is it from?
Awesome video! Rly enjoyed the viewing
We are ALL in the collective unconscious, and we are all, collectively, God.
In Berserk, specifically, each if those GodHand members went through the exact same process of confronting the Idea of Evil.
I really liked this video and the philosophy incorporated.
I'm not sure if this was your direct implication, but personally I don't think Griffith is the literal incarnation of the Idea of God.
While he brings in some of that Nietzche philosophy pertaining to God, I like much prefer the idea he is simply a person who represents fate (while Guts represents free-will) not an extra-dimensional being.
Predicting the end of Berserk is tough (with something like ASOIAF I understand the broadstrokes pretty well, and know the "what" - with the help of the TV show - just not the how).
Personally, I don't think they should try to go bigger than Emperor Ganishka. He made himself a Lovecraftian God and caused the astral world to merge, you can't really get much bigger.
22 minutes of pure delucional auto compasion from this dude.
I think Griffith is going to sacrifice Falconia to become the new God. It is shown that there was an old God Hand. Where did those old God Hand members go? I'm thinking one or more became the current idea of evil.
Homey published his first draft
Great video, wonderful musings. Perhaps it makes Griffith 'Jesus' because Femto created him to serve like a human with powers on earth? Overall great. One BIG eye twitch though..... Able didn't kill Kane in the bible..... Kane killed able. That mistake made me face palm a little tbh. But again, otherwise it was a good video.
he mentioned in the vid with text he made that mistake
It took literally like a day of thinking
How can we get Jorden Peterson to do a Berserk analysis?
6:11 The reason we ask God for forgiveness when we choose to ignore our conscience is because we are asking ourselves for forgiveness. Whenever we hear our conscience loudly, it is a result of ourselves screaming at us to not take the wrong path. Trust your gut, it knows your fate and destiny better than you do because it has already chosen to ignore itself, died, and is now shouting at you during the life retrospective to avoid the same mistakes it made. But don't worry if you ignore your conscience. For better or worse, you're going to keep respawning from a checkpoint until you get it right. Welcome to Hell. The faster you learn to listen to your conscience, the faster you get to leave this reality.
just letting you know you got cain and able mixed up, cain was the first murderer
good vid... this deserves more views
Cain killed Abel
This is why Guts can't kill Griffith.
You can't kill an idea.
hey arveuss i noticed you are a huge berserk fan. So idk if you have but if you haven't please play soulsborne games (dark souls 1-3, bloodborne, sekiro and elden ring) these games are clearly inspired by berserk. And some parts are prolly the best in fiction
You switched Cain and Abel. Abel was the one favored by God and Cain was not
"Frydrick Nitsha"
There is one problem here, Miura said chapter 83 is not canon anymore
nice video
though you say we dont know what Griffith sacrificed to become a god but much was sacrificed when his worldly form was born with the egg of the perfect world right?
Good video but Cain was the one who killed his brother
Bro butchered the Bible. Cain and Able both made sacrifices, however Able did it with a loving heart and Cain did it wanting to be rewarded. God rewarded Able for being pure of heart and Cain with envy killed Able.
Berserk is going to end when Disney buys it next year so they can make a Live adaption.
Guts will realize "they" are Pansexual and die after "they" try to fck the Dragonslayer.
Casca? I think it's blatantly obvious that "he" will be trans
Rickert? Ends up being sentenced to life in a Kushan Prison for being a "far right Griffith supporter".
Griffith? Starts the new Jedi Order and is the bestest Jedi ever after it's revealed that "she" was a "birthing person" the entire time.
Prove me wrong, I dare ya.
